SCR / AdBlue System

🧠 Part of the TuningBot ECU Knowledge Base — in-depth documentation on ECU logic, maps, emissions systems and safe calibration methods.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems inject AdBlue (urea solution) into the exhaust stream, where it converts harmful NOx into nitrogen and water vapor. SCR is essential for meeting Euro 6 and later emissions standards.

Обзор

AdBlue is injected upstream of the SCR catalyst. Heat converts urea to ammonia, which reacts with NOx on the catalyst surface. The ECU precisely controls dosing based on NOx sensors and temperature.

Controlled Signals

  • AdBlue dosing unit
  • NOx sensors (pre and post SCR)
  • SCR catalyst temperature
  • AdBlue tank level and quality
  • Exhaust gas temperature

Maps Involved

  • AdBlue Dosing Maps vs exhaust flow/NOx
  • SCR Efficiency Maps
  • Temperature Activation Maps
  • NOx Target Maps

Calibration Objectives

  • Maximize NOx conversion efficiency
  • Minimize AdBlue consumption
  • Prevent ammonia slip

Calibration Strategy

  • SCR delete requires extensive ECU modification
  • Verify NOx sensor calibration after any changes
  • AdBlue quality affects system performance

Диагностика

  • NOx efficiency below threshold
  • AdBlue dosing faults
  • SCR catalyst temperature faults
  • AdBlue quality/contamination detected

Best Practices

  • SCR deletion is illegal for road use
  • Use only ISO 22241-compliant AdBlue
  • Keep AdBlue tank above minimum level to prevent pump damage
